Sprout Leaves on Our Climate Action Tree.
Our Earth Justice Ministry (EJM) is asking you (and each of us) to help address climate change and improve Milwaukee by making a commitment to action this spring. Starting on Earth Day Sunday (April 20) through Flower Communion (June 1), FUSM members and friends may make a commitment for a new action, large or small. The goal is to get people thinking of one thing to address climate change and commit to doing it.
We have a tree poster on the wall in the Common Room. You may peruse a list of 50+ potential actions to choose an activity or create your own and place a leaf on the tree listing your commitment. Information about energy use and climate change will be displayed to help members and friends understand more about climate change. Potential individual actions are in the categories of:
- Transportation
- Home Energy Use
- Food & Eating
- Purchasing
- Political, Policy and Social Action
Many individual and systemic changes are necessary to mitigate or adapt to climate change and each action is a positive step. We ask you to be joyful and challenge yourself with the actions you choose. There are many things you could do to love our Earth home. During this six weeks, commit to one! The list of suggested actions is on the church website for EJM here. https://uumilwaukee.org/committees/earth-justice-ministry/
